DBEW International Design Competition is an opportunity that is open to designers with vision; designers who are equipped with new values fit for these changing times. The theme for the competition, Design beyond East & West, embraces the aspiration towards creating a sustainable society in which man and nature co-exist in harmony, and for new paradigms by which such a dream can be realized. This theme calls for a regional vision of a new direction for industrialization in Asia, but it is also seeking a universal vision for a new mode of life

DBEW for the One Child Family
The progress of industrialization and urbanization has changed the roles and functions in the family. In a traditional family, the elders in the family led the family and all family members took part in running the household; but in the nuclear family, the housewife shoulders the burden of not only the housework but also of raising children. With the advent of communal living and electric home appliances, the workload of the housewife has to some extent been reduced. However, now that more and more women are working outside their homes, the family with only one child (¡°Dual Income Single Child Family") is becoming the most common type. The theme of this DBEW Competition is the creation of a new atmosphere which is best suited to these social changes.

In the One Child Family, all the members usually go out in the morning to work or school work and return home in the evening. All 3 members are active. A new living environment which corresponds to this lifestyle is required. Based on the following three keywords, a new convenient living space for the 21st Century is sought.

The first keyword is " digitalized space ". The domain of control over time and space which Internet usage imposes is increasing. Pursuit of digitalized space design, ¡°Design for Digitalized Space¡± is required. This new space must also coincide with the individual desires of each family member and must be created as a space where communication, cooperation and binding among family members can harmoniously take place.

The second keyword is "kitchen culture". An intelligent kitchen may be a cooking space where utility and convenience are adapted to a kitchen, yet now, a cultural meaning should be added to the kitchen, as a space where family members gather and share their warm talks together. In other words, the kitchen is a SPACE ADAPTED TO LIFE. The so-called ¡°CULTURAL KITCHEN¡±, as a new concept, is expected to be a small cultural plaza for family members.

The third keyword is a " new inner environment for children". Various media such as Internet, multi-media, and multi-channel TV are giving our children a wider range of choices. Also, as the general living standard improves, children have access to a greater amount of furniture and products in their rooms and their physical growth patterns are changing. The relationship between parents and children, body and furniture, mass of information and products, space and spirit have to be re-established. To nurture the healthy, original and competent leaders of our future, a ¡°Creative Kid Room¡± must be proposed.
